After a cardiac catheterization, the patient is asked to refrain from any exercise or exertion. They are not to lift heavy load or involve themselves in strenuous exercise. Care should be taken of the incision site so as to prevent a sore or swelling. It is also advisable that the patient does not drive for 24hours post procedure. heart-consult.com

My dad had coronary angiogram for placement of a medicated stent. But apparently something went wrong and he required immediate Coronary By pass surgery. I wonder how often this happens? Currently he is re-couping and I hope he recovers fully. The doctors say the danger is over !! Not sure What they mean. He is still in the ICU very worried.
